It is our song, the one that represents every Canadian from coast to coast and across "the true north strong and free." This 2020 Silver Maple Leaf fractional set celebrates the 40th anniversary of the National Anthem Act, and the day when O Canada officially became Canada's song.

The set features five different sizes and denominations of matched .9999 pure silver coins with a unique O Canada design. The sizes are 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/10 ounce and 1/20 ounce, and the coins bear a face value of $5, $4, $3, $2 and $1 respectively.

All five coins feature the same maple leaf-themed reverse design by Lisa Thomson Khan. The double dates "1980–2020" mark the 40th anniversary of the National Anthem Act, which designated "O Canada" as the national anthem of Canada. On the one-ounce coin, the engraved cluster of three maple leaves is tinted with a red colour. The large coin is distinguished by three additional features: a red Swarovski element; edge lettering to commemorate the official proclamation date ("01.07.80"); and an engraved musical staff with the opening notes of "O Canada."
